Projecting Join
The outer edges are extended until two edges intersect.
Projecting/Bevel Join
Bevel Joint processing is applied if the extended section is too long. Projecting Joint processing is applied if the extended section is too short.
Triangle Join
A pointed shape of a height equivalent to half the line width is formed on the line joining the ends of outer edges.
Round Join
A semicircle of a diameter equivalent to the line width is drawn.
Bevel Join
The outer edges of the intersecting lines are connected and filled.
None
No processing is applied to line joints.
Default: Do not Specify
When drawings with lines of large width are rendered, the drawing may not be printed properly depending on the settings for "Line Caps" and "Line Joins".
This function is applied on lines wider than 0.35 mm.
If the line width is 0.35 mm or less, "Round Cap" and "Round Join" are applied to Line Caps and Line Joint.
When "Do not Specify" is not selected, the line attributes specified by the LA command are invalidated. The LA command is valid only when "Do not Specify" is selected in both "Line Caps" and "Line Joins".
When "Do not Specify" is selected for each submenu in the line attribute settings, "None" for Line Caps and "Projecting Join" for Line Joint are set as the default for each setting.
The settings specified for this function may be ineffective in some applications.
